A Book  of  Useful  Information 

THIS  booklet  was  written  to  help  you — to  help  you  make 
your  home  bright,  attractive,  artistic,  and  sanitary 
with  the  least  expenditure  of  work  and  money  on  your 
part.  It  is  a handy  book  and  will  be  found  just  as  practical  for 
solving  paint  problems  as  your  almanac  is  for  referring  to  for  use- 
ful information.  There  are  many  times  that  you  want  to  renew 
an  old  bureau,  chair,  or  picture  frame.  If  you  read  this 
booklet  carefully  you  will  find  just  what  is  the  best  finish  to 
use,  and  it  will  give  you  complete  instructions  for  finishing  the 
article  in  question.  If  you  are  thinking  of  repainting  your  house 
or  doing  over  a certain  room,  theattractivecolor-plateswill  prob- 
ably suggest  a pleasing  color  scheme  suitable  to  your  purpose. 
You  will  find  complete  specifications  under  each  one  of  these 
houses,  and  many  of  the  combinations  will  be  found  equally 
appropriate  on  other  styles  of  houses  as  they  are  on  the  par- 
ticular house  shown. 

I 

In  selecting  the  colors  for  your  exterior  painting,  you  should 
first  consider  the  surroundings  of  your  home  and  then  keep  in 
mind  the  fact  that  the  colors  used  should  harmonize  with  these 
surroundings  and  the  house  seem  to  be  a part  of  them.  Don’t  1 
get  the  idea  that  a house  in  order  to  be  satisfactorily  painted 
should  stand  out  in  strong  contrast  with  its  surroundings — on 
the  contrary,  it  should  really  harmonize  with  them.  If  the  house 
is  well  surrounded  with  foliage,  select  medium  warm  colors  which 
will  give  you  a slight  contrast  between  the  house  and  its  envi- 
ronment. On  the  other  hand,  if  the  house  is  subjected  to  the 
glare  of  the  sun,  very  frequently  a satisfactory  painted  effect 
can  be  obtained  by  using  colors  such  as  grays,  drabs,  greens, 
etc.  If  your  house  has  rather  elaborate  trimmings,  simplify 
them  by  painting  the  entire  trim  in  one  color,  thus  keeping 
these  parts  subdued;  the  plain  effects  have  much  more  dignity. 
The  tall,  plain  house  can  oftentimes  be  improved  by  selecting 
two  body  colors — a light  one  for  the  lower  and  a dark  one  for 
the  upper  part.  It  does  not  cost  any  more  to  paint  a house  in 
an  attractive  color  combination,  and  a little  extra  care  in  choos- 
ing these  colors  is  well  worth  while.  If  you  are  in  doubt  as  to 
the  proper  combination  to  use  after  reading  this  book,  write  us. 
We  will  gladly  help  you.

HEN  you  approach  the  question  of  paint  do  not  merely 


say:  “Paint  my  house”  or  “Use  lead  and  oil,”  but  name 


f T a definite  kind  of  paint  because  you  know  that  a reliable 
manufacturer  stands  back  ol  it — because  it  has  had  the  con- 
fidence of  the  painting  public  for  years.  It  you  are  not  familiar 
with  the  details  of  paint-making,  there  are  some  points  just  as 
important  as  the  selection  of  the  colors. 

If  you  should  take  a certain  number  of  painting  materials 
and  mix  them  up  yourself  you  could  not  tell  how  much  real 
paint  protection  the  mixture  contained  until  after  you  had  ap- 
plied it  to  the  surface  and  allowed  it  to  stand  a number  of  years. 
Furthermore,  with  ordinary  equipment  such  as  painters  use  in 
mixing  lead  and  oil.it  is  practically  impossible  to  get  exactly  the 
same  formula.  So  whether  you  mixed  the  paint  or  had  the 
painter  do  it,  there  would  invariably  be  an  uncertainty  as  to  the 
final  protective  results.  This  is  why  a machine-made  paint  pre- 
pared according  to  time-tried  and  tested  formulas,  made  of 
chemically  pure  and  uniform  raw  materials,  mixed  and  ground 
by  powerful  machinery,  is  a paint  which  is  dependable  and  bound 
to  give  you  satisfactory  results.  All  these  qualifications  are 
found  in  Rogers  Machine-Made  Paint — they  are  the  cause  of  its 
long  standing  and  continuous  satisfaction.

Decorate  Your  Home  With 
Rogers  Wall-Tona 

A Beautiful  and  Sanitary  Flat  Finish  for  Walls, Ceilings  and  Woodwork 

IF  YOU  want  to  make  the  walls  of  your  rooms  both  decorative 
and  sanitary,  there  is  only  one  satisfactory  way  to  do  it — 
and  that  is  to  paint  them.  Decorative  and  sanitary  quali- 
fications are  not  found  together  in  many  materials  suitable  for 
wall  and  ceiling  decoration.  It  is  generally  agreed  by  most  deco- 
rators of  today  that  a good  quality  flat  wall  paint  is  the  only 
material  that  will  produce  a wall  finish  both  decorative  and  sani- 
tary. Rogers  Wall-Tona  is  manufactured  to  meet  in  the  most 
satisfactory  way  possible  the  growing  demand  for  painted  walls. 
Wall-Tona  is  first  a paint — and  every  one  admits  that  paint  is 
the  most  sanitary  finish  which  can  be  applied  to  a wall,  because 
it  can  be  repeatedly  washed  with  soap  and  water.  Then,  too,  it 
is  a flat  paint,  thus  affording  soft,  but  rich  velvety  effects,  having 
great  decorative  possibilities.  Wall-Tona  adapts  itself  readily  to 
stenciling  and  can  be  applied  over  any  kind  of  wall. 

If  you  like  a wall  finished  in  an  unusual,  and  at  the  same 
time  artistic  and  sanitary  way,  use  Wall-Tona  Mottled  Effects. 
You  may  obtain,  free  of  charge,  complete  instructions  for  obtain- 
ing these  artistic  and  beautiful  effects  by  writing  to  the  Decora- 
tive Department,  Detroit  White  Lead  Works,  Detroit,  Mich. 

Wall  -Tona 

Rogers  Wall-Tona 
comes  in  many  beauti- 
ful, artistically  blend- 
ed colors  that  afford  a 
soft , pleasing  effect. 
Under  ordinary  con- 
ditions, one  gallon  of 
Wall-Tona  covers  ap- 
proximately 275 
to  300  square  feet,  two 
coats.  Used  over 
s moot  h plastered 
walls,  one  gallon  will 
cover  between  350  and 
400  square  feet,  two 
coats.

Improve  Your  Home  With  Rogers 
Stainfloor  Finish 


A Varnish  and  Stain  Combined — -Has  Uses  in  Every  Room 

YOU  can  decorate  and  at  the  same  time  protect  the  floors, 
furniture  and  all  the  woodwork  in  your  house  by  means 
of  Rogers  Stainfloor  Finish,  which  is  made  specially  for 
general  household  decorating  and  redecorating.  It  might  be 
called  an  “Up-keep  Finish”  since,  with  merely  a brush  and  can 
of  Stainfloor, you  can  make  your  old  floors,  furniture,  woodwork, 
etc.,  look  like  new,  and  more  important  still,  keep  them  like  new. 
Stainfloor  is  now  a household  necessity,  since  it  has  such  a variety 
of  uses.  It  can  be  used  on  old  or  new  surfaces,  over  any  kind  of 
wood,  or  any  previously  painted  surface.  Uidike  paint  it  does 
not  obscure  the  grain  of  the  wood,  and  when  used  on  soft- 
woods, it  closely  imitates  the  most  expensive  hardwood.  There 
are  many  pieces  of  furniture  about  the  house  which  can  be 
easily  made  as  good  as  new  with  only  one  coat  of  Stainfloor  in 
my  color.  Take  a natural  wicker  chair,  or  any  other  piece  of 
furniture  which  is  light  in  color  and  which  is  quite  apt  to  be- 
come worn  and  soiled.  Any  of  the  Stainfloor  Finishes  can  be 
used  upon  it  successfully.  Chairs,  bedsteads  and  tables  are  all 
adapted  to  this  finish.  If  any  of  these  pieces  of  furniture  are 
very  dark  or  badly  spotted,  it  is  necessary  to  apply  a coat  of  the

The  Treatment  of  Floors 

A FLOOR  that  is  well  kept  goes  a long  way  toward  giving  a 
room  a pleasing  appearance.  There  is  no  other  interior 
^surface  that,  when  properly  finished,  emphasizes*  to  such  a 
degree  the  beauty  of  the  rugs,  curtains,  draperies,  etc.  On  the 
other  hand,  a marred  and  shabby-looking  floor  detracts  greatly 
from  the  appearance  of  the  room,  no  matter  how  well  it  is  fur- 
nished. Floors  should  receive  constant  attention,  as  there  is  no 
part  of  the  house  where  the  wear  and  tear  is  so  severe,  or  where 
there  is  so  great  an  exposure  to  constant  hard  usage. 

Our  line  of  Floor  Finishes  represents  a finish  for  every  style 
of  lloor,  either  old  or  new.  You  can  select  any  finish  you  want, 
whether  paint,  varnish,  stain  or  wax,  and,  by  carefully  following 
the  instructions  given  under  each  heading,  you  may  be  sure  of 
securing  the  most  durable  and  best  looking  finish  possible. 

Rogers  Floor  Finishes  are  the  result  ol  many  years  of  prac- 
tical experience  and  are  made  to  withstand  hard  wear.  A good 
paint,  varnish  or  stain  for  floor  finishing  is  not  easy  to  find.  It 
is  easy  to  make  a floor  finish  that  will  sell  readily,  and  there  tire 
many  finishes  on  the  market  today,  but  it  is  quite  a different  ques- 
tion to  make  floor  varnishes  that  will  wear  well  and  give  entire 
satisfaction  after  they  have  been  used. 

We  have  employed  every  means  at  the  command  of  our 
large  organization  to  make  Rogers  Floor  Finishes  excel  in 
application,  durability  and  appearance.  The  Rogers  name  and 
reputation  for  high  quality  are  behind  each  package.  The  fol- 
lowing finishes  are  described  elsewhere  in  this  booklet  and  we 
offer  each  one  with  the  assurance  that  it  will  bear  out  the  claims 
we  make  for  it:

Jf  your  floors  have  been  previously  painted  or  varnished  and  arc 
in  such  condition  that,  the  old  coating  must  be  removed  before  ap- 
plying a new  finish,  you  can  remove  it  quickly  with  Rogers  Ab  lu- 
ent. a reliable  paint  and  varnish  remover  that  is  more  effective  and 
much  less  expensive  than  burning  off  the  old  finish  by  means 
of  a torch.

Rogers  Inside  Floor  Paint 

Made  to  Walk  On — Stands  Hard  Usage 


WHEN  a floor  is  in  such 
bad  condition  that 
staining  is  not  possible, 
the  only  thing  to  do  is  to  paint 
the  floor  a nice,  harmonious 
color.  Rogers  Inside  Floor 
Paint  is  made  for  such  a pur- 
pose. It  covers  up  the  old 
floor  entirely  and  is  very 
useful  in  kitchens,  bedrooms, 
etc.  This  paint  is  easy  to 
apply  and  will  dry  over  night.  On  floors  that  are  old  or  have 
been  previously  painted,  only  one  coat  is  necessary,  but  or.  new 
floors,  two  coats  will  give  very  good  results.

Economical  Insurance — Improves  Life  and  Value  of  Buildings 

THERE  are  many  times  that  you  want  to  use  an  outside 
paint  that  is  less  expensive  than  that  which  you  would  use 
on  your  house.  When  you  want  to  protect  and  renovate 
your  barn,  mill,  fences,  chicken-coop,  or  any  outbuilding,  just 
ask  your  dealer  for  Rogers  Barn  Red.  It  is  not  an  expensive 
paint,  because  it  is  made  for  a cheaper  class  of  work.  Neverthe- 
less it  contains  all  the  elements  essential  for  a paint  of  this 
character.  It  is  made  with  the  same 
care  and  attention  that  is  given  to  every 
Rogers  product.  That  is  why  it  does 
the  work  for  which  it  is 
made  in  the  most  satisfac- 
tory way  possible.  It  covers
